Storyline

Alicia is invited by senior partner Will Gardner to act as second chair in a law suit against the scion of a rich Chicago family who is being sued by a stripper for rape. The DA has refused to file criminal charges and the victim wants to extract some degree of justice. Alicia tends to believe her, especially after she turns down a very generous settlement offer, but she does carry a lot of baggage having worked as an escort for a period of time. The lawyers face a major problem when DNA testing seems to rule out the defendant. At home, Alicia's son and daughter are alone when someone anonymously drops off photos of their dad cavorting with a prostitute. Son Zach discovers something important however.

Good Wife- The Plot Thickens Somewhat ***

Our returning attorney is now assigned a case involving an ex-hooker who may have used the services of the former's jailed prosecuting attorney.

The ex-hooker is accusing the son of a very wealthy family of raping her.

There are some very interesting plot twists. Christine Baranski, who appears briefly, looks like she is one sarcastic lady constantly checking up on our attorney-friend; even going so far to visit the courtroom while the latter is trying the case.

Seems that the attorney will have his case appealed and he might be out of jail shortly.

We also see a very liberal judge presiding over the case who turns around and rules for the defense since it has become a case of he said-she said. It appears that the fiend has gotten off with the rape until the police come right by and arrest him again for another molestation.
